The Chief Constable of Northumbria police Mike Craik said he would like to see implements like kitchen knives only being sold with rounded ends to make them safer.

Ah! On both sides of the Atlantic our civilizations face the grim spectre of Liberal ideology.

Remove the pointed ends, make only blunted ends, and you'll have murderers beheading their victims with blunt knives.


And the chief might consider banning bench grinders as well.


Absolute lunacy.

Please don't be too quick to slam our British Friends....they are suffering from a particularly bad onslaught of Socialism it's true, but there are still many sane Brits over there who are gnashing their teeth over this sort of insanity just as we are.  They invented the MINISKIRT for God's sake, one of the finest inventions of the entire 20th Century....they have it within them to put a stop to this lunacy, they just need to organize their Conservatives (easier said than done, sadly)

We must ban all eating utensils. And we must do it for the children's sakes.

It is a fact that rolled-up newspapers are frequently used to strike poor, defenseless dogs. Perhaps it is the newspapers that should be banned.

So what are they going to do about razor blades embeded in a piece of wood?

Ban shaving?

The next step would be "knife control", requiring a background check and a permit before purchasing one, then just ban the beastly things altogether....

For some reason, I hear Jocelyn Elders talking about "We must make safer knives..."
